THE WORK IN IOWA

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Jan 15, 1901

IN Iowa almost all the Conference workers are laboring heart and soul for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” The State has been divided into six districts; over each district one of the Conference workers has been placed as a superintendent, and with him are associated several other workers. These brethren and sisters are visiting all our churches in their district, and arousing our people to the necessity of circulating “Christ’s Object Lessons,” according to the word of the Lord. We are sure that the good work will be a blessing to all who engage in it, to those who sell as well as to those who buy, and besides Union College will be relieved from a large portion of its heavy debt.

UNDER date of Dec. 6, 1900, Sister Jessie V. Bosworth, secretary of the Iowa Tract Society, writes:—

“We have been mailing the Signs of the Times, Instructor, and Life Boat to each of our State institutions for about two years, and the workers here in the office have thought of sending a copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons” to each, dividing the expense among us. We receive orders for two or three hundred books each day, on the average, or have since the beginning of this week. I believe this movement in our State will be the beginning of a revival in missionary work.”
